Journal Quilts are done and packed and ready to ship to Houston tomorrow. Now I’m back to quilting on the NYQ! raffle quilt. Here’s what the IQA page lists for this special exhibit:

A Page from My Book: Journal Quilts 2002�The Journal Quilt Project

Sponsored by International Quilt Festival
Over 200 subscribers to the QuiltArt Network are participating in this free-form exercise in creativity, specifically planned to encourage quilt artists to stretch and grow. The exhibit will consist of nine small monthly quilt pages and journal entries from each participating artist.

I’m a quilting mad woman! Yesterday I quilted a nice-sized quilt at a guild get together. The whole thing. Seven bobbins worth! Last night I started my guild challenge that’s due next month. No pressure! Tonight I’m back to work on the NYQuilts! raffle quilt.

Mom just called to say that her quilt won a second place in the Benartex Quiltmaker’s Gift Challenge for adaptation of a pattern from the book. Way to go Mom! **sniff** makes a daughter proud!
